Independence
Without water and chemicals, the Trelino® M offers the freedom to travel independently of disposal stations.

Hygiene and cleanliness
Individually removable containers allow separate emptying and easy cleaning.

Leakage safety
Due to the solid workmanship, the corpus is leak-proof and protects against unpleasant mishaps on the road.

Water resistance
The coprus made of polyethylene is water resistant and therefore can also be used in the shower.

Stability
With its high-quality, robust body, the Trelino® M takes on any adventure.

Fan
A fan can be installed for even faster drying of the solids. The hole in the separation toilet for the fan must be drilled yourself. We recommend a step drill 1.53 inches.

Material
The body and containers of the Trelino® M are made of recyclable, acid and chemical resistant polyethylene (PE). The waterproof glued lid is made of multilayer, untreated birch wood.

Lid attachment
The lid is fixed by holding magnets, which ensure that the separation toilet always remains well closed.

Design
With its stylish wooden lid and shapely curves, the Trelino® M will turn your smallest room into something very special.

Regional production
Production is carried out exclusively in Germany, taking into account high social standards.

The perfect partner between small and large: with a good seat height and a decent capacity of 3.1 gal, the Trelino® M fits almost anywhere: van, truck camper, RV, boat - anything goes!

How does a composting toilet work?

The inner workings of a composting toilet essentially consist of three parts: separator, urine canister and solids container. The separator leads the urine into the canister, while the solids end up in a bucket with a compost bag. You can also read a more detailed version in our blog post here.

What should I pay attention to when using it?

The correct sitting position is crucial for the best possible function of a composting toilet. For anatomical reasons, this differs for women and men. 

Why does a composting toilet not smell?

Odors are caused by the mixing of solids and liquids. Separating the excreta and then drying the solids prevents undesirable aromas. 

Do I have to change/empty the plastic bag after each use?

No! The whole point of using litter as a cover material to dry out the poo is that you can use the bag for several days and only empty it once full enough. Depending on the size, the bags hold between 3 and 12 number 2s.

Where can I get the litter / cover material to dry the solids?

You will be able to buy litter from us some time early next year. Until then or otherwise you can also buy good litter material from any garden or home improvement store. Find more info on our blog post about litter here.

When do I need a fan?

A fan counteracts condensation, accelerates the drying process of the solids and ensures that fragrances quickly dissolve into thin air. This makes it particularly suitable for long emptying cycles or if your Trelino® is used by several people. All Trelino® models of sizes M and L can be equipped with an optional fan. Any S model does not need a fan due to its compact dimensions and short emptying cycles. 

What happens when I have diarrhea?

Diarrhea is not a problem when using a composting toilet. Just use more litter to compensate for the liquid.

Where do I dispose of the contents?

Urine can easily be disposed of in a toilet connected to the sewer system. Diluted, it is also suitable as fertilizer for the home garden or the raised bed on the balcony. The bag with the solids is a case for the residual waste garbage can. Conditionally, composting is also possible. The urine canister and solids container can be emptied independently of each other.

Plastic bags and composting - how do they fit together?

For us, sustainability and environmental awareness do not end with disposal - we think beyond the garbage can. That's why we use renewable, organic materials for our solid bags that can be easily composted.

How do I clean a composting toilet?

Cleaning a composting toilet is as simple as its use. The household remedy diluted vinegar concentrate has proven its worth for most of the cleaning. Read more about it in our blog post here.

What makes Trelino® so special?

Trelino® is a quality product designed to last. A high-quality composting toilet that will accompany you for many years and makes a statement against the throwaway culture. In addition, Trelino® combines optimal functionality, ease of use and high comfort behind a unique design.

    Simple and discrete

    This is a nicely designed product that is a big step up from a bucket and jug. No wiring or venting and can be left in the open without being seen as a toilet. It has been in our living room for over a week and my daughter finally asked what it was for?

    THE alternative to the chemical toilet

    So far I've only had experience with a portapotti in the camper and always found emptying and refilling with water very cumbersome, because I'm often "wild" and then have to look for disposal options . Now I've bought the Trelino Origin M and tried it out for the first time this weekend on a short trip, at least for the small business. I am enthusiastic without restrictions. Everything works as described in the instructions. I filled a lemon juice solution in a spray bottle and sprayed the contact surfaces in the front part of the Trelino with it after every small transaction and wiped it off with toilet paper. There was no odor development, really great! And being able to just empty the urine in the container into any toilet makes things super easy. I will heed the advice not to rinse the container with pure water so that no urine stone forms and use lemon acid solution from time to time. At first I was a bit concerned about the relatively high price, but the concept is really well thought out and environmentally friendly and a great solution for motorhome freedom!

    multifunctional

    The practical and comfortable toilet can also be used as a stool - thanks to the sturdy wooden lid! I would buy again :-) (translated to English)
